Ok, Swedish Academy, go ahead! have fun! we'll always have Peter Handke, Cormac McCarthy, Philip Roth, Milan Kundera, Ismail Kadaré, Jorge Luis Borges, Henrik Ibsen, Haruki Murakami, James Joyce, August Strindberg, Vladimir Nabokov, Joseph Conrad, Nikos Kazantsakis, Yannis Ritsos, Gaston Bachelard and many others. I can't judge Mr. Tranströmer but you already have Eyvind Johnson, Lagerkvist and Lagerlöf registred in your exclusive compilation. And that irreparable mistake that was Karlfeldt.
Mark Twain, Leo Tolstoy, Robert Frost, Anton Chekhov, Henrik Ibsen, Henry James, Marcel Proust, James Joyce, August Strindberg, and once again for this year: Thomas Pynchon.
Such is the provincialism of the Swedish mind !
